Comments for Luton – missing the points at http://www.wsc.co.uk , comment 0 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.wsc.co.uk Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:48:07 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/959/38/#pc_119 Hey MMick if you think 30 points, on top of 10 last season, is a piddling point deduction why not phone the FA and request the same for your team? I'm sure we'd here no end of squealing from you if they actually did! On the subject of the article I reckon the speculation re MK Dons could be very close to the mark. The Football League ignored their own regulations to enable Franchise FC to move to Milton Keynes and seemingly made the rules up as they went along when it came to Luton. Yes, Luton have been in Admin 3 times in 10 years but the 2nd time was as a result of being taken over by a 'lunatic' that had been judged a fit and proper person by the League. The rules in place for coming out of Administration are impossible to comply with without incurring a points deduction because of the league's insistence that players be payed 100% of what is owed but not the HMRC. This means that any Adminstration that cannot be cleared by paying off 100% of all debts (if they could do that why go into Admin in the first place?) will result in a rejection by HMRC and a points deduction by the league. The classic Catch 22 brought about half-arsed rules that seek to punish clubs instead of helping them. - Hatter Mick Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:46:21 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/959/38/#pc_112 The second game I ever watched in the old First Division was against Luton Town. It's sad that 20 years later they are in this position. I can't see them pulling away (as Leeds did) this season. - Steve Saint Sat, 12 Jul 2008 05:41:14 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/959/38/#pc_110 So what is the difference between Luton Town & Nuneaton Borough and Halifax Town? Luton Town are in the league and only get a piddling point deduction and the other 2 are non-league so get relegated 2 divisions. Luton Town should start again in SSML2 like Bedford Town had to. - MMick Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:13:14 +0100
